[Jython-users] jython/jythonc performance

[Justin W. <Jus...@mo...>]

Hi,

Does anyone out there have any metrics for jython/jythonc performance
versus standard java ? I am interested in using jython for its
elegance/simplicity etc but not at the expense of a dramatic decrease in
performance versus standard java. Stuff written in jython / run through
the interpreter seemed very slow (jdk1.3/windows NT). I'm not sure about
compiling to java through jythonc but notices that the java source code
generated was very large in comparison to what I could code up in java
by hand. Any thoughts anyone ?

thanks.
